Rdlc editor does not exist in Visual Studio 2017

Question

I need use SSRS to generate reports in Visual Studio 2017. Firstly I installed report viewer control via nuget: Install-Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms

After installed the control, I got the report viewer in the toolbox. But the RDLC editor is not in the new project dialog.

So I downloaded and installed Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio

After doing this, I found the report viewer disappeared from the toolbox and RDLC editor is still not in the new project dialog window.

Did I missing some other stuffs to install? Or I did something wrong?

Thank you.

Have a look at the answer to this question: Reporting Template (RDLC) not exits in Visual Studio 2017

"There is a bug in the extension Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio that the ReportViewer shows up as a non-visual component."
